Electricity Flashcards
ORIGIN OF ELECTRICITY
-Matter
Everything that has mass and occupies an space (volume)
Matter is made up of…
Atoms. -> Greek “indivisible”(is not true)
Atoms representation in 2d
His parts
|——protons(+)Charge Nucleus———| |——neutron(/)Charge=0 Shells——— Electrons(-)——ELECTRICITY | MOVE!!!
Were are atoms reprecentated
Atoms are reprecentated in the PERIODIC TABLE
ELECTRIC CURRENT
Is the continuous movement of electrons from an atom to another.
Law of electric charges
repel each Attract each
other (+)(-) other
Types of materials
Conductors
Are materials that alow the electrical current to flow through them. Examples: Metals(Ag,Cu,Au,Al)
- silver -aluminium *H2O+Salt
- copper -gold
Types of materials
Insulators(aislante)
Are materials that don’t allow, the electric current to flow through them.
Examples: Plastic, rubber, wood, wool, cotton, silk, paper, cardboard, glass,
Types of materials
Semiconductor
Are material that conductor or not the electricity depending on the conditions.
Examples: Silicon(Si),Si14, Aluminium(Al).
Types of electric current
-DC=Direct Current (corriente continua)

Sources= battery or cell
Types of electric current
-AC=Alternating Current

Sourges: eolic energy, sea/wave, photovoltais plant, hydroelectric plant, thermal(co2) nuclear plants
What is an electrical circuit?
A circuit is a closed loop through wich charges can continuosly move. It’s made of a material that can conduct electricity and some electrical components connected to it.
Ohm’s Law
V= I . R I= v/r R= v/i
